Proposed by Councillor Potter and seconded by Councillor Joy Andrews The government has put forward proposals via a Written Ministerial Statement (WMS) to allow the exploration phase of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) to be allowed under Permitted Development (PD), therefore requiring no planning permission. They also propose to bring the production phase of fracking under Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIP), to be decided centrally by government and the planning inspectorate, thus taking decisions away from local control. These proposals would over-ride local plans, local planning and local democratic decisions, including those within North Yorkshire. The Minerals and Waste Joint Plan (MWJP) was jointly produced by NYCC, CYC and NYMNPA with considerable expenditure and officer time over several years. The plan was subject to extensive consultation with all stakeholders and the public. It was judged by a government appointed independent planning inspector to be sound, legal and compliant with national policy at an Examination in Public (EIP). Therefore: 1. This council endorses local control of fracking by Mineral Planning Authorities; 2. This council supports the current North Yorkshire MWJP and the definitions within it; 3. Council instructs our planning officers to respond to the government consultation accordingly, by rejecting the changes proposed for PD and NSIP as inappropriate and with the view that the North Yorkshire MWJP should have primacy for all planning decisions at all stages of fracking; 4. Ryedale District Council requests NYCC to support this opposition to government policy. 2. Proposed by Councillor Clark and seconded by Councillor Thornton There is increasing doubt about the environmental and health safety of glyphosate. A recent case related to the use of glyphosate resulted in a fine of £200m+. On this basis it would seem prudent for the Council to cease any further use. This Council therefore resolves: i. To stop with immediate effect all use of glyphosate on its properties including car parks, roads and pavements. ii. Call upon NYCC to not use glyphosate on NYCC properties, roads and pavements. 11 Representation on Outside Bodies To appoint a representative and a substitute to attend Malton Community Sports Centre Finance and Premises Governors Meetings, as recommended at the Resources Working Party meeting on 12 July 2018 and ratified at the Policy and Resources Committee meeting on 26 July 2018. 12 Any other business that the Chairman decides is urgent Stacey Burlet Chief Executive This page is intentionally left blank Council Minutes of Proceedings At the Ordinary Meeting of the District Council of Ryedale held in the Council Chamber, Ryedale House, Malton on Thursday 28 June 2018 Present Councillors Joy Andrews, Paul Andrews, Steve Arnold, Val Arnold (Vice-Chairman), Bailey, Burr MBE, Clark, Cleary (Chairman), Cowling, Cussons MBE, Duncan, Farnell, Frank, Gardiner, Goodrick, Ives, Jainu-Deen, Di Keal, Maud, Oxley, Potter, Raper, Sanderson, Elizabeth Shields, Thornton, Wainwright and Windress In Attendance Beckie Bennett, Simon Copley, Jane Graham, Anton Hodge, Jos Holmes, Mike James, Angela Jones, Clare Slater and Anthony Winship Minutes 12 Apologies for absence Apologies for absence were received from Councillors Acomb, Hope and Jowitt.

Councillor Ives declared a personal non-pecuniary but not prejudicial interest in agenda item 10 (Scrutiny Review – Final Report – Provision of Swimming Lessons at RDC Pools) as family members used the swimming clubs. The Chairman also noted that all Members had been lobbied regarding agenda item 10 and that there were a number of Members who were also North Yorkshire County Councillors. 17 Announcements The Chairman made the following announcements: To congratulate: -Peter Lawrence who had been awarded an OBE for services to the families of missing people; -Sir William Worsley who had been appointed as the government’s Tree Champion; -Bramhall Blenkharn Architects who had won a Building Control Award; To send best wishes to Mrs Daphne Hope, wife of Councillor Eric Hope, who had been injured in a riding fall. 18 To Receive any Questions submitted by Members Pursuant to Council Procedure Rule 10.2 (Questions on Notice at Full Council) 1. Councillor Wainwright submitted the following question: To Councillor Clark, Chairman of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee: “Would Councillor Clark please inform Members of the progress made by his Scrutiny Committee into the investigation of alleged bullying of Officers at Ryedale District Council?” The Chairman of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee, Councillor Clark replied Council 2 Thursday 28 June 2018 Page 6 “This question has caught me a little bit by surprise, I wasn't really expecting it. Well I am Chair very pleased that Councillor Wainwright is showing a continued interest in this subject, considering he had three opportunities to support it when his vote was required and he voted against looking into it on all three occasions. From that background to asking at every Council meeting what the progress is, I think it's commendable. The answer to his question specifically is that we have looked at it and can let him have the wording from the draft minutes this really brings you completely up to date – ‘That Members,’ and this is in relation to the

More people are choosing to travel by rail and demand has risen to its highest point since 1920, and it is set to keep on rising, with predictions that demand will more than double within the next 30 years. This increase means that more and more people are travelling to and from our stations, with cars being the number one choice, meaning that car parking is becoming a major issue for our customers.

  • Northern Premier League 2020/21
    Northern Premier League 2020/21 By John Aitken Northern Premier League 2020/21 The National League System have come into effect over the last 40 years but it started with the formation of the Alliance Premier League in 1978/79 season the Northern Premier League, Isthmian Football League and the Southern Football League where the top divisions in the Non-League. The Alliance League later became todays National League and lowered down one level and these became a feeder to the above league. The Northern Premier League was formed in 1968 from teams from the Cheshire County League, Lancashire Combination League, Midland Football League, North Regional League and West Midlands (Regional) League and today it takes promoted teams from Northern League, North East Counties, North West Counties League, Midland Football League and United Counties Football League which are its five feeder leagues to this day. Eleven of the originals either went on to be or were football League members. These leagues were dropped one more level down when North and South Divisions of the Conference were formed in 2004 and the League System started placing leagues to feed these leagues with some other minor leagues feeding two or more off them. From the 2018/19 season the North and South Divisions were changed to Division One East and West with some clubs moving to the new Southern Football League Central & West Premier and Southern Football league Division One North & Central Division from the NPL to save on traveling costs and eight clubs promoted from Step 5 to the Northern Premier Division One Leagues.

  • Yorkshire North York Moors Flood History - Esk, Rye, Pickering Beck, Derwent, Leven
    Yorkshire North York Moors Flood History - Esk, Rye, Pickering Beck, Derwent, Leven Gauged records for the River Rye at Helmsley are not long enough to give a reliable indication of the risk of floods of 100 year return period or greater which are typically required for flood risk assessment. The longest record on the Rye above Helmsley is for Broadway Foot (NGR 44 560 883) with a record of 28 years, and downstream from Helmsley for Ness (NGR 44 696 791) with a record of 31 years. Sources of Information Historical flood information comes from a variety of sources but it has the general characteristic of being discontinuous. It comes to the attention of the observer(s) as a consequence of the rarity of occurrence which may be judged in different ways by different people and sources. The principal information comes from newspaper reports, which in Northern England starts with regional newspapers based on Newcastle in 1710 (Newcastle Courant) and the Leeds Mercury in 1731 whilst newspapers based in York commence early in the nineteenth century. Local newspapers start in the second half of the nineteenth century including the Malton Messenger in 1854. For this analysis the various newspapers were used for different periods depending on their availability as microfilm in local libraries. A preliminary review of potential flood dates was established from the BHS Chronology of British Hydrological Events. A search was made of British Rainfall (annually from 1863 to 1968) for climatological information relating to floods. Information on early floods (1722 and 1754) was sought in the North Riding Quarter Sessions Order Papers which include orders and payments made for the repair and rebuilding of bridges consequent upon flood damage.

  • Malton Introduction
    Station Travel Plan - Malton Introduction What is a Station Travel Plan? The Department for Transport defines a Station Travel Plan as: “A strategy for managing the travel generated by your organisation, with the aim of reducing its environmental impact, typically involving support for walking, cycling, public transport and car sharing”. TransPennine Express maintains Station Travel Plans for all 19 stations where they are currently the Station Facility Owner (SFO). Why Develop a Station Travel Plan? Up until March 2020 demand for rail continued to grow, with more and more people choosing to travel by rail each year. It is predicted that, post the COVID-19 pandemic, within the next 30 years demand for rail will more than double from pre-March 2020 levels. TransPennine Express is at the heart of this growth, with double digit percentage growth in passenger journeys year on year historically and a doubling of customer numbers since the franchise was established in 2004. With growth of this magnitude, it is important that alongside investing in new trains, operating more services and enhancing the customer experience, we are considerate of how customers travel to and from the station to access the railway network. Against the landscape of a changing culture towards private transport, with many millennials choosing not to own a car, and instead adopt solutions such as Uber, dockless bike hire and car sharing schemes, a Station Travel Plan allows operators to identify the developments which are required to keep pace with society. It also allows us to identify key areas of change, with the evident shift from internal combustion to electric cars and hybrids, we are able to set out plans for providing the infrastructure to support this shift.
